The first English Bible to be fully translated from the original languages, the 1560 Geneva Bible was the product of some of the finest Bible scholars of that day. People loved the extensive margin notes and the wonderfully insightful annotations. The 1560 Geneva Bible was the first to be published in a variety of sizes that made it affordable to many people who had never owned their own Bible before
English settlers who voyaged to the New World favored the Geneva Bible. It is probable that the Geneva Bible came to America in 1607 and was used in the Jamestown Colony. Thirteen years later, the Pilgrims brought this precious Bible with them on the Mayflower's perilous voyage to religious freedom
